Truth is nothing more than what actually happened and whatever that can happen can only happen in one way (and no other way than the way it happened) whilst falsity is nothing more than what did not happen and whatever that did not happen can happen in many different ways depending on the whims and fancies of different people.
Right view is merely the SINGLE way in which one sees what actually happened that leads to the SINGLE expression in words or their synonyms in whatever language (eg Hindi or Chinese or English) that describes faithfully what actually happened. Wrong views are merely the MYRIAD differing ways in which one failed to see what actually happened or failed to express in words what actually happened.
Although truth is simply what really happened and right view is merely the (singular untainted) way of seeing what really happened and thus formulating in words to tell others what really happened on an occasion, although most ordinary people are endowed with perfectly working physical vision, in practice in this world (but not heaven) there is an almost insurmountable or unbridgable gulf between what is really happening or truth and seeing and thus telling what is really happening or the truth because the consciousness of all ordinary people are permanently blurred (but whose severity can fluctuate from moment to moment in any given person), rendered (hopelessly) out of focus by the incessant application of mental force on that consciousness that is constantly changing in direction, speed and strength both by themselves and by the actions of others that they come into contact with so that it is IMPOSSIBLE (except in the figment of their imagination that they can) for them to see what really happened or the truth clearly and therefore telling what really happened or the truth. In other words ordinary people are helpless slaves of falsity, of not seeing what really happened than masters of choosing not to see what really happened.
And on the occasions when ordinary people despite their considerable handicap of blurred vision of their consciousness nevertheless saw (with difficulty or effort) the truth (but only in a relative way) eg someone stealing something or saw themselves telling you a lie or giving you an excuse, they will not tell you the relative truth of what they saw but they will fabricate or tell you something else. Often people are not even aware that what they say is sarcastic, they mean the opposite of what they say, a sanitized way to say they have lied. How often have you heard people admit to themselves let alone to their victims that what they say is sarcastic or they have given an excuse? And even in the rare event they admit to themselves they have been sarcastic or proffered excuses, they always admit it in a way that subverts the truth that is not seeing and telling it unadulterated by thinking it is funny or harmless or a mistake, by saying or thinking of it in an emotional like (funny) or dislike (grudging admission) way. They may think that they have on those occasions seen and told the truth but it is an adulterated or emotional truth, not nothing but the truth that they saw and told.
AT BEST ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN ONLY SEE AND TELL THE RELATIVE NEVER ABSOLUTE TRUTH BECAUSE THEIR ENDEMIC MENTAL FORCEFULNESS OR EMOTIONS PREVENTS THEM FROM SEEING AND TELLING THE TRUTH PASSIVELY WITHOUT EMBELLISHMENTS.
How can people whose entire lives emcompassing whatever and however they perceive, think, speak and move has a simultaneous combo of substance and style that cannot be rendered live but must be rendered by faked live or rote from mental jukeboxes be ever capable of seeing things as they actually happen (see the truth) or to be able to reason live to work out and therefore to be able to tell live (not faked live by rote) what actually happened?
If you cannot see what actually happened, you cannot see the truth, how can you tell the truth or speak the truth?
If you think you can see the truth, can you see what is actually happening or depicted in the picture below?
If you think there is nothing unusual or wrong in the picture, she is behaving normally, being herself, a wonderful well adjusted person and being friendly and good to you and everyone when it may be the truth that she has a closet full of skeletons, she is even here using significant mental force in a manner that has constant rising and falling changes in speed and strength to falsely fabricate a complex expression of liking to be nice not good that is more than just her (false or faked) smile but includes her tilting and rotating her head and seeing dishonestly or slyly through the corner of her eyes and her putting her fingers to her mouth as if to convey tantalizing desire, then you did not see what actually happened or the truth even though you have a pair of eyes with good vision.
There is considerable universal social pressure to keep up with appearances or pretense not to see or say the truth out of a false sense of politeness or to get along in society such that with lifelong suppression the person comes to totally accept and fail to see the truth that she is faking it, putting on a show (as she always does to greater or lesser extent) rather than being true and being herself.
If you see that she is a wonderful well adjusted person who is being herself, being good to you and herself when the truth is the opposite, she is acting, stressfully putting on a show, manipulative, being falsely and harmfully nice never good to you and herself, then you did not see what really happened or the truth in the picture.
There is motive for her to falsely express liking at great cost in personal stress, restlessness and distraction because her livelihood, fame and wealth as a celebrity depends on making people like her. Thus if you cannot see that she is putting on a show (de facto prostituting herself like the rest of humanity) being nice to express liking and attractiveness so that others will be attracted to her, you may not be seeing what she is actually doing or seeing the truth.
Can you similarly read the truth or falsity as the case may be of what she is saying that I quote from an interview below?
That what I see of her in the picture is correct or right view is suggested by the similar widespread (not isolated) illogic or falsity that can be gleaned from the things she says and from my correct view her suffering intensely or shatteringly from breast cancer as she admits is no surprise or cruel misfortune but instead it is only one installment of what the Buddha says is suffering that is as vast as an ocean and as long as an eternity for people who have not developed an eye for the truth or the dharma and therefore behave accordingly.
She said she has a mountain to climb to return to normal but she is climbing the wrong mountain, she may fall to her death whilst climbing that mountain and even if she reached the summit she will have her heart broken and find death waiting. The mountain she should climb is the mountain to weed out emotion, to weed out constant stretching of syllables, changes of speed and loudness, to embrace and tell the truth.
Asked how she (Kylie Minogue) managed to talk her parents round, she replied: "Oh, it was not easy. That's a great understatement.” (It is not just not easy, not even just an understatement but it is a ‘great’ understatement, reflecting her emotional inability to let her yes be yes only but to perceive more, much more that comes from evil not good according to Jesus)
"I couldn't imagine what it was like for them.”
Comment: Surely she can imagine quite well if not very well what it was like for her parents to be ‘hit’ by the news of her breast cancer and therefore she is unconsciously lying to herself and others, wanting herself and others to believe in falsity that she could not imagine what it was like for them. It is false logic that she and those who accept what she says subscribe to that ‘she couldn’t imagine what it was like for them’ (they have learnt to turn a blind eye to the illogic of what is said) that will end in total mad logic in a situational crisis or old age. The true or logical statement is “I can imagine what it was like for them”. If you let your yes be yes only, you say without the ‘oh’ that “It was not easy”. It is always false to say it was not easy is a great understatement. How great can the understatement be? She herself subscribes to and wants you to similarly appreciate hyperbole, something that is not there, false and headed for insanity to believe it is a great understatement.
Again if you see a person who is being himself, laughing because he is truly happy you do not see what really happened or you do not see the truth. What really happened in truth is a person who is putting on a show to impress others perhaps with his sense of humor, confidence, faked happiness, who is often laughing at others’ misfortune, who is churning out even violent stress, restlessness and daze for himself that he must afterwards struggle to rein in whilst inciting others to falsely appreciate him, you see what really happened or the truth.
(My view as reflected above differs from the consensus view and therefore either I am correct or society is correct, either I or society has wrong view because we cannot be both correct. The Buddha said wrong view is deadly, leads even to hell or the animal womb; how can you be one with your Father in heaven if you have views that differ from your Father? Therefore either you are correct that such views are inconsequential if they turn out to be wrong or it may condemn you to even another eternity of habitations)
NOT ONLY CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AS DESCRIBED BY ME, THEY HATE OR DISLIKE TO SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED OR THE TRUTH IN THE PICTURE AND IN WHAT KYLIE SAID AS DESCRIBED BY ME. EVEN THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES GOOD AND INTELLIGENT HAVE AN AVERSION FOR SEEING KYLIE AND WHAT SHE SAID THE WAY I SAID IT, IS IT ANY SURPRISE THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH, SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, WHY SHE IS SUFFERING?
AS JESUS SAID, THEY HATED HIM (ON SIGHT) WITHOUT REASON (BECAUSE HE IS THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF TRUTH AND HE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH) AND BECAUSE YOU HATE (DISLIKED) THE TRUTH, YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH. ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE KIDDING THEMSELVES IF THEY THINK THEY LOVE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY HATE THE TRUTH, THEY HAVE BURNT THEIR BRIDGES TO TRUTH AND WHAT THEY TOUT AS THE TRUTH THEY LOVE CAN BE PROVEN TO BE MAKE BELIEVE OR SHAM TRUTH. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY FALSELY ACT TO DECEIVE, PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE OTHERS. IF YOU LOVE THE TRUTH, CAN SEE THE TRUTH HOW COME YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF YOUR SPEECH THAT IS CONSUMING PRODIGIOUS ENERGY TO CREATE INSOLUBLE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION NOT JUST IN YOURSELF BUT IN THOSE WHO HAVE THE MISFORTUNE TO INTERACT WITH YOU?
Proof That People Cannot See What Really Happened:
There is objective proof that cannot be disputed that people cannot see what really happened or see the truth.
As I have said many times before (no matter how slow or fast, loud or soft they speak) there are constant (not frequent) stretching of syllables, (multilayered) changes in speed and loudness in the speech of all ordinary people with their equivalents in their motion, thoughts and perceptions and far from meritorious or harmless, these consume prodigious unnecessary energy, constitute their individual styles and are the sources of the stress, restlessness and distraction that they must suffer from, that they induce in all who have contact with them, they are constantly conditioning their minds to stress, restlessness and distraction that have already warped their minds so that stress, restlessness and distraction can now arise rapidly to the slightest triggers to intense levels that they struggle to shake off and they are headed for mad stress, mad restlessness and mad distraction and if they think they are headed for heaven instead of eternal punishment, they may be great fools.
NO MATTER HOW YOU LIKE OR ARE ATTRACTED (NEVER LOVE) TO STRETCH YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS TO BE STYLISH, SINCE I HAVE ALERTED YOU, SURELY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH AS THERE IS THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF YOUR SPEECH AND THAT OF EVERYONE ELSE’S AND THEREFORE CAN DEMONSTRATE TO ME OR YOURSELF HOW DIFFERENT YOUR SPEECH WILL SOUND LIKE IF YOU DID NOT STRETCH YOUR SYLLABLES, DID NOT CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
BECAUSE THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD OR READ WHAT I SAID MANY TIMES, WHOM I HAVE PERSONALLY DEMONSTRATED HOW THEY STRETCH THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGED SPEED AND LOUDNESS CONTINUE TO DO SO, CANNOT DEMONSTRATE FOR ONCE HOW THEIR SPEECH WILL SOUND LIKE WITHOUT STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS, THEY CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES DOING SO, CANNOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN THEY SPEAK, CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
AND NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS (WITH THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN THEIR MOTION, THOUGHTS AND PERCEPTION) IS CRUCIAL TO SEEING THE TRUTH ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY INVOLVE THE UNNECESSARY APPLICATIONS OF FORCE ON THE MIND THAT DISTRACTS OR MAKES OUT OF FOCUS THE PERCEPTIONS OF THAT MIND SO THAT IT IS INCAPABLE OF FOCUSING AND SEEING WHAT REALLY HAPPENS EVEN IF IT WANTED.
Whenever people stretch their syllables, they also exhale with increasing speed that causes the speed or pitch of the syllable to increase (become shriller). Whenever people stretch their syllables, they also progressively increase the force with which they exhale causing the stretched syllable to rise in loudness. Some syllables within a word are stretched more, spoken louder and faster and there is a tendency to increase speed and loudness from the beginning to the end of the sentence. Often people make dramatic pauses in mid sentence not because they have run out of breath but to impress with their thoughtfulness.
JUST AS THEY CANNOT TELL THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING, CONSTANT CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE IN THEIR SPEECH, THOUGHTS, MOTION AND PERCEPTIONS, THEY CANNOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN THEY PERCEIVE THINGS, THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH IN WHAT THEY PERCEIVE AND THEY ARE DELUDING THEMSELVES THAT WHAT THEY SEE IS THE TRUTH WHEN THEY ARE FALSE SNAPSHOTS OF WHAT THEY FALSELY LIKED OR DISLIKED TO SEE.
IF EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD SEE THROUGH TINTED GLASSES AND REINFORCE IN EACH OTHER WHAT THEY THUS SAW AS TRUE, THEN THEY MAY DELUDE THEMSELVES THAT THEY ARE SEEING THE TRUTH WHEN WHAT THEY SEE WILL BE QUITE DIFFERENT IF THEY COULD REMOVE THEIR SUNGLASSES.
THE CONSTANT UNNECESSARY APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THE MIND THROUGH (STYLISH) CONSTANT FORCEFUL STRETCHING, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE CAUSES THE MIND TO WARP LIKE THE CRAZY MIRROR IN A CIRCUS SO THAT WHATEVER IS REFLECTED IN THAT WARPED MIRROR OR MIND PERCEIVES, IS WARPED. BECAUSE EVERYBODY’S MINDS ARE WARPED, THEY ARE SO USED TO SEEING THROUGH THEIR WARPED MIRRORS, THEY THINK THEY CAN SEE THE TRUTH, SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE WHEN IT IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY SEE THINGS AS THEY LIKED AND DISLIKED IN HASTY, FURTIVE MISLEADING SNAPSHOTS. THIS IS HOW MISUNDERTANDINGS CAN HAPPEN, PEOPLE JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING EG THEIR WIVES TALKING TO OR WALKING WITH ANOTHER MAN.
The attitude of most people towards truth is indifferent; they are unconcerned about the truth of the matter than that they should get what they want, they should enjoy their sensate pleasures and satisfy their likes and dislikes. Their ability to see the truth and speak the truth is largely make-believe than real. Not only is their attitude to truth ambivalent at best, the stress, restlessness and distraction that their constant forceful stretching, changing in speed and strength of force seriously impair their focus whilst they have been so well indoctrinated in, trained to use faulty or false tools of logic to examine situations that arise such that it is almost impossible for them to exit the all enveloping cocoon of falsity on earth.
What I say may cause resentment even amongst those who call themselves good because they are unconcerned about reason and truth in their daily lives but they are more concerned about things going according to plan or their routines or mindless rote repetition from memory and whatever thinking they may indulge in the course of the day is sort of daydreaming or thinking what is advantageous or disadvantageous to them or of a silly dingdong fashion of self argument rather than the truthfulness of what or how they say or do it. They are more interested in adopting attitudes and beliefs that require no reasoning that they learnt by rote or faith from others or concoct with their faulty logic than reasoning and seeing the truth in whatever happens.
Attitudes and beliefs are blind, rigid protocols or substitutes for reasoning and truth in a situation arising. Ordinary people have attitudes and beliefs to many different things and when faced with situations in daily life where they cannot carry out by rote from their jukeboxes, they summon their attitudes and beliefs to guide them to an appropriate response.
Expressing simultaneous like and dislike:
There are many situations in daily life where people have to experience dislike whilst expressing like and vice versa and this is worse than practicing pure like and dislike because they are generating and conditioning themselves to emotional or forceful mental conflict that with regular practice can arise easily to intense levels that are hard to shake off.
For instance the approach of a potential customer will often arouses dislike because it means work and having to be nice to him that she has to learn to conceal and instead express faked like in the name of doing her job. Therefore she tries to suppress and conceal her dislike whilst faking her like but no matter how well concealed her dislike is still detectable by the other person if he pays attention. For instance she may accelerate in speed and loudness unabated from beginning to end of her sentences reflecting her annoyance whilst individual words are stretched with undulating rising and falling speed and loudness to fake her liking so that she is actually expressing a mixture of liking and disliking and a discerning person will see through her charade and sense that she is not too happy to serve him.
In the same way when people bump into friends on the street, they may experience dislike but will fake great pleasant surprise or like at meeting them and in the process they are practicing intense emotional conflict that will not end there but every time they do so, they are conditioning themselves to mental conflict that will end in loss of control and madness.
A KEY REASON WHY PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES EXPERIENCE REGULAR STRONG EMOTIONAL CONFLICT THAT CAN NOW ARISE RAPIDLY WITH LITTLE PROVOCATION IS BECAUSE THEY REGULARLY PRACTICE EXPRESSING LIKE WHEN THEY DISLIKED, THEY HIDE OR EXPRESS DISLIKE WHEN THEY LIKED SO THAT THEY ARE NOW VERY DISTURBED AND EASILY CONFUSED PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REALIZE THEY WILL FALL FROM THE TIGHTROPE INTO THE ABYSS OF MADNESS. A PERSON WHO HAS NO LIKES OR DISLIKES HAVE NO LIKES OR DISLIKES TO HIDE FROM OTHERS AND FAKE.
If a person keeps denying the true reasons why he said or did something and insist that the excuses he proffers are true, in time he comes to believe his excuses are the reasons for his action and that is dicing with future insanity because in truth they were not the reasons and he now has no clue as to why he did or say something (because he has denied the true reasons so well).
For instance the true reason for saying “Asserting one's correctness to the exclusion of the other view implies the need of supremacy or dominance of views. This leads to fragmentation - an obvious reason for strife and hardships and sufferings in this world” is that the person disliked the advice I gave him and he is driven by irresistible urge to lash out but he denies this is the motivation for what he expresses but the reason is because I am wrong to criticize him, I am overbearing in my views. In time to come he truly believes he is not a nasty person but he is merely rectifying injustice done to him but no matter how strongly he believes, he must experience stress and conflict as a result of lashing out and hiding even from himself he is lashing out that can reach intense proportions but because he denies he is nasty, he cannot see why it is that he should be so worked up over something he is ‘right about’.
There is nothing wrong with believing my views are correct:
Unless a person has no integrity (he does not give two hoots about the views he expresses or he is dishonest, saying he does care when he does), no self belief or he is crazy (going against himself by saying his views does not matter or are wrong), it is only natural he should believe in and therefore assert (declare or state as opposed to demand others accept) the correctness of his views and it is false logic to say that asserting the correctness of my view implies a need for superiority and dominance. If there are other reasons for asserting my views eg to convey my commitment or confidence then you are delving in presumption that according to the Buddha is a defilement of your mind.
Because I have integrity, self belief and I am not crazy, it is only natural I assert the correctness of my view that has nothing to do with superiority or dominance.
By wrongfully telling me that my assertion of the correctness of my views implies a need for superiority and domineering he is telling me I should be facetious, have no integrity or self belief in my view and induce conflict in me by holding views and not asserting that they are correct.
Although truth is defined as simply what happened, people even those who vow they are truthful do not tell what truly happened but because of pride and shame they tell a sanitized version but even if they wanted, because they see things with like and dislike, with changes in speed and strength of their mental force they are like the man seeing everything through the funny contorted mirrors at the circus wherein everything see is warped. It is not that the objects are warped but as seen through the warped mirror, as seen with emotional like and dislike they appear ‘truthfully’ warped.
Merely Another Excuse For Strife:
You can have arguments and thence a fight over anything eg a girl, property, land, intellectual property and virtually any possessions that can be coveted.
So long as people remain contentious they will find any issue or subject to have arguments and strife and therefore it is faulty logic to single out my alleged assertion of the correctness of my views as a particular cause for strife.
THEREFORE MY ASSERTING THE CORRECTNESS OF VIEW THAT IMPLIES THE NEED FOR SUPERIORITY AND DOMINEERING IS AT BEST A TENUOUS CAUSE AMONGST MANY OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES OF STRIFE AND YOUR ACCUSATION IS THEREFORE UNWARRANTED OR FALSE.
Ordinary people are kidding themselves if they think they are interested in the truth of the matter, because they have preconceived notions of what the truth should be that are unshakeable and false and often what they are interested in are the ‘ho, ho, ho’ (trying to make light of everything) of the situation & seeking the like and voiding the dislike of the situation. They insist they are interested in the truth, not realizing that it is on the proviso that the ‘truth’ meets their like and dislike. Because there is no truth ore reason in like and dislike, it is merely the ways with which the speed and strength of their mental force changes, what sustains them is consciousness experiences generated by the changes in their mental force that can be experienced existing as animals and they are headed for the animal world not heaven.
Like and dislike is incompatible with truth, people who like and dislike are more interested in what is there to like and dislike in a situation than the truth of the situation. For instance they are more interested in the like in their team winning the world cup than in the truth that it cheated to win.
If you like to like and dislike, you don’t care very much for reason and truth then you do not need to exist as a human let alone exist in heaven but you can indulge in your passions just as well wandering along as beasts.
Because there is nothing I cannot bear to see, nothing I am dying to see, I therefore can see everything in a situation. Because there are things ordinary people cannot bear to see and there are things they are dying to see in a situation, they therefore cannot see everything in the situation as it actually is.
A World Cup Won By Cheating:
Italy beat Australia 1-0 in the quarterfinal with the goal being a penalty awarded for what looked like a dive by the Italian player. If the penalty had not been given, it might be Australia who would have won. In the same vein, France beat Portugal in the semi finals by a penalty that looked to have been awarded for a dive.
Commentators had noted that there seems an epidemic of diving. Thus the world cup may not have been won by merit but by cheating and gamesmanship (taunting).
